Pyinmana Township () is one of eight townships of Naypyidaw Union Territory, Myanmar.
History Historically, Pyinmana was formerly known as Ningyan (နင်းကြမ်း). Shan traders who observed the abundance of Terminalia chebula trees around the area named the city Pangmaakna (ပၢင်မၢၵ်ႇၼႃႉ), lit. "myrobalan encampment," from which the Burmese language name Pyinmana is derived.
Pyinmana Township was formerly part of Mandalay Division. The township was designated as one of the original townships constituting the new capital region of Naypyidaw on 26 November 2008 by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA).
